The parietal-temporal-occipital (PTO) association area, also referred to as the temporo-parieto-occipital (TPO) junction, is an area within the cerebral cortex where the parietal, temporal and occipital lobes meet. [1] High level of interpreting meaningful signals in the surrounding sensory area. They have functional subareas:
The brain contains four main lobes: temporal lobe, parietal lobe, frontal lobe, and the occipital lobe. The temporoparietal junction lies in the region between the temporal and parietal lobes, near the lateral sulcus (Sylvian fissure). Specifically, it is composed of the inferior parietal lobule and the caudal parts of the superior temporal ...
It can also refer to the occipital operculum, part of the occipital lobe. The insular lobe is a portion of the cerebral cortex that has invaginated to lie deep within the lateral sulcus . It sits like an island (the meaning of insular ) almost surrounded by the groove of the circular sulcus and covered over and obscured by the insular opercula.
[1] This area is among the earliest affected by Alzheimer's disease , frontotemporal dementia , frontotemporal lobar degeneration , and is commonly involved at the start of temporal lobe seizures .
Area 39 was regarded by Alexander Luria as a part of the parietal-temporal-occipital area, which includes Brodmann area 40, Brodmann area 19, and Brodmann area 37. Damage to the left Brodmann area 39 may result in dyslexia or in semantic aphasia. [1] Albert Einstein had less neurones (relative to glial cells) in this (left sided) area than ...
Brodmann area 18, or BA18, is part of the occipital cortex in the human brain.It accounts for the bulk of the volume of the occipital lobe. It is known as a "Visual Association Area" or V2 and is a first stage in processing or feature extraction of retinotopic images from V1.

Brodmann areas 3, 1, and 2 make up the primary somatosensory cortex of the human brain (or S1). [2] Because Brodmann sliced the brain somewhat obliquely, he encountered area 1 first; however, from anterior to posterior , the Brodmann designations are 3, 1, and 2, respectively.
